Welcome to Seattle

SHIP'S LOG:

well, perhaps things that could be said about yesterday is that it at least came to an end. I woke up to a fog bound Thames River, with fog so thick that it took me several minutes to literally figure out which way ABISHAG was oriented, that is which way she was pointed and which was was the TYC Clubhouse. It was serious fog and, while it thinned and thickened through out the day, it never really lifted.

In addition, all that fog, which means 100% humidity(that's what fog is, at least atmospherically) mean everything got wet, or at least damp, and never dried once it did. And in addition to the fog and humidity, there was the constant drizzling rain. It probably would have helped straighten everything out if it just poured, but it didn't, at least not until about 8:30pm. It was just a plan, miserable day, like a normal day in Seattle!

Basically, it was a good day to take a nap which I did. It was a good day to reorganize and restore stuff on the boat which I did. It was a good day to do a few minor boat projects which I did. It was a good day to waste a lot of time online which I did. The only thing it wasn't really good for was sailing which I didn't do, nor did anyone else for that matter. A good day in Seattle is usually not a very nice day anywhere else. HOWEVER, today has already started out bright and clear and with a nice breeze and is a good day in New England for sailing. Adios!
